These days, the rules are so flexible you could spit on a sheet of blank music from the top of a building, use the spit as notation and still come up with something somebody would enjoy, so the pressure to improve, get the chords 'right' etc is overstated these days, but to be able to understand and manipulate music is definitely useful... if I do lessons here I'd like to follow that philosophy; learn the rules, then destroy them

That's great to hear. I do a lot of work studying dance technique, and it is the same way. Learn concepts that seem different but are actually the same root thing, and then mess around with it to make it entertaining for variety.
